![]() Volunteers originally had a form of Rigby rifling, later changed to Henry (denoted by a H prefix to the serial number). The small arm that protrudes from the pin holding the loading lever is broken and missing. Pitch should be 1 in 78 to match originals, but some were made with 1 in 48 pitch. Serial number (6390) appears twice on the top of the breech and on top of the receiver only the 0 is visible inside on the loading lever. If you have Pattern 1853 Enfield, if possible please check the rifling pitch and let me know - a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod should give a good enough measure. This code is invaluable in building an understanding of the production time line. ![]() If possible please include the date proof code from the underside of the barrel two letters and a number either between crossed swords or within a circle after the proof load information. ![]() I'm keen to hear from anyone (use direct message for privacy if you wish) who will let me know the serial number of any Parker-Hale muzzle loading rifle they own / know of, along with its type (P.53, P.58, P.61, Volunteer or Whitworth). I have a database of over 600 Parker-Hale rifles. ![]()
